    He’s not pretending to be like trump to piss of trump, he is like trump.

    Six months ago he was on his knees for Alex Jones and Charlie Kirk talking about how Dems need to act like Maga to win elections.

    Everyone thinks he’s doing 4d chess, but they forget for decades trump was a neo liberal and chumming with a whole bunch of Dems with a D by their name.

    Newsom just took his mask off, it’s not a joke, it’s not satire.

      Absolutely wild to spend your time screaming “both parties are the same” while one of them is actively dismantling literally everything that supports the country

        💯

        If Newsom is running for 2028, I’m absolutely voting against him in the Primary. And if he wins, I’m absolutely voting for him over these totalitarian, anti-American, fascists.

        https://www.slotkin.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Slotkin-CAP-Remarks-As-Prepared.pdf

        Genuinely can’t tell what party Slotkin is a member of after reading her latest campaign remarks.

        She could be a NeverTrump Liz Cheney type or a Cuomo Democrat or a Third Way Andrew Yang independent. It’s all just neoliberal mush.

        So let me slaughter another sacred cow: We need to move past the talking point of “comprehensive” immigration reform. For the past 20 years, politicians in both parties have abandoned immigration deals—either because they were good but not perfect, or because they preferred to use the immigration issue as political ammo. We need big, bold change to fix a broken system —but at this point, that can be in one bill, or spread across five. I will work with any adults I can find who are actually interested in making some kind of progress on immigration.

        What do you do with “both sides” rhetoric when it’s coming from inside the party system? This is their words as often as ours. Even the D’s and R’s can’t decide if they’re bipartisan buddies or purity trolls.

      I don’t think you are completely wrong, Newsom is a bit corrupt in how he allowed PG&E utilities company to increase rates and profits as a monopoly across California.

      Go look at his Bluesky post history and Trump’s Truth post history. They are not the same.
